It shouldn't take images of dead children to recognize a genocide, a census to identify depopulation, a fiscal crisis to address economic downturns, or an uprising to admit to oppression. It takes moral courage to speak truth to power. #JamesBaldwin

I’m honored to be endorsed by my friend and former colleague Congressman Jamaal Bowman as I campaign to return to Congress and keep fighting to build our progressive movement.

In Congress, Jamaal and I worked together to introduce and advance historic legislation that centered the concerns of everyday people, including the Reparations Now Resolution, the Helping Families Heal Act, and the Recognizing the Human Rights to Utilities Resolution.

Now, I’m running again to send our movement back to DC and continue that work in Congress.

On Monday, I attended the Bronx Rent Guidelines Board hearing to fight for rent relief for the 2.4 million New Yorkers living in rent stabilized units.

“The working class is the decisive factor in history. Regardless of whether we win or lose, whether we sink or swim, it all depends on how well we are organized and how well we channel our desires into discrete, disciplined structures that are beholden to our interests."

"Bernie Sanders and his progressive allies are on a hot streak." — @politico

From Graham Platner in Maine to Randy Villegas in California, Adam Hamawy and Analilia Mejia in New Jersey, Sam Forstag in Montana, Brian Poindexter in Ohio, and Bob Brooks in Pennsylvania — these are Bernie-backed progressives who are taking on the establishment and winning.

“Progressives are on the march,” Bernie declared last week.

Our Revolution leader Joseph Geevarghese told Politico: “The movement Bernie started in 2016 continued into 2020 and remains a powerful force in electoral politics. And I think it’s growing stronger.”

Yesterday, I spoke out against data centers and AI layoffs at the Seattle City Council.

Under mass pressure, the City Council passed a one-year moratorium on new hyperscale data centers. This is a victory for working people, but one year is far from enough.

My independent socialist campaign for Congress is the only one in this election fighting for an end to hyperscale data centers, for democratic public ownership of all existing data centers, and for a public-sector living wage jobs guarantee, funded by taxing the rich, to counter the AI-related mass layoffs.

NEW: Uber has quietly amassed $12.5 billion in a Hawaii-based insurance reserve, according to a new report shared with The Lever.

Critics say the fund could help bankroll Uber’s robotaxi expansion, sidestep taxes, and support efforts to roll back protections for accident victims.

Amazing news: Aisha Wahab advances in her race for Congress in CA-14!

@aishabbwahab has been a voice for housing justice, workers’ rights, and affordability that is taking on corporate power and fighting for working families.

This is the kind of people-first leadership we need in Congress.

🚨20 DAYS TILL THE ELECTION🚨We have 20 days to make history in NY-13. The Mayor is with us. The movement is with us. Our opps are spending millions to try and stop us but they forgot uptown and the Bronx don’t need permission to fight for a better future.

It’s all hands on deck. Sign up for a canvass or make some calls with our volunteers. Let’s finish what we started.

The only record of Saikat saying anything about Israel or Palestine before 2025 (year three of full-scale genocide), is a passage from Ryan Grim's "Squad" book, where Saikat criticizes AOC for using the word "occupation" in a 2019 PBS interview. He thought it was too contentious.

We are going to see an epic November race between a strong progressive who has the support of outgoing Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and a corporate Democrat who has the tech and real-estate industry behind him.

A new EEI report shows how we absolutely need large corporations to be accountable in building the energy grid, otherwise we're all paying $120B in the coming decades. It's not sustainable.

Here's how we fix it. And do read the full report below too: https://t.co/CtU3tHaKJC

I'm running as an independent revolutionary socialist because we desperately need a working-class FIGHTER in Congress.

My main opponent, Democrat Adam Smith, just introduced a bill to fund OVER A TRILLION NEW DOLLARS for imperialist war. Concretely, that's a trillion more dollars for the billionaires to profit from killing thousands of more people in the Middle East.

The bill also includes a Section 224, entitled “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative.”

If this goes through, it will fuse the U.S. and Israeli militaries such that Israel weapons funding would not even need any separate votes in Congress. Smith has introduced this bill in the context of the holocaust of the 21st century in Gaza and of the brutal wars on Lebanon and Iran.

Of course, Congressional votes are far from a guarantee against war for the simple reason that the Democratic and Republican parties are both warmongering representatives of U.S. capitalism. It was not long ago that 173 House Democrats, including 56 members of the so-called Congressional Progressive Caucus, voted for over $26B for the genocide in Gaza and to ban United Nations food assistance from Gaza.

Nonetheless, we should recognize that even at this stage, this bill presents a serious danger to working people in America, in the Middle East, and internationally.

The bill is horrific in ever sense. A trillion more dollars for war means more deaths of ordinary people and more profits for the global super-wealthy. On top of that, fusing the U.S. and Israeli military budgets would lead to far less transparency when already there is exceedingly little at present.

Even if this particular bill fails, there are at least THREE other similar bills in the pipeline. The capitalist class and both its parties are ruthlessly determined to do this.

Why?

Because they can see that American mass consciousness has dramatically shifted against Israel in particular, and against imperialist war in general. The Democrats and Republicans want to quickly get this done so so they can try to better hide their genocidal actions going forward.

I am using my campaign to fight against genocidal Democratic Congressman Adam Smith.

I am the only candidate in this race who is calling for an end to all military aid to the Israeli state, an end to all weapons and tech for genocide and imperialist war, and to stop data centers and AI-related mass layoffs.

I am the only candidate in this race fighting for free healthcare for all funded by taxing the rich and a living-wage jobs guarantee. I am the only candidate in this race with a track record of defeating the billionaires and multimillionaires and winning historic victories for working people.

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
